Trial Information
Potentially Actionable Mutations in Archived Non-Rhabdomyosarcoma Soft Tissue Sarcomas (NRSTS)
OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the frequency with which actionable mutations are found in archived
non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS) tumor specimens using mass
spectrometry (MS) analysis of tumor-derived deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
OUTLINE: Archived DNA tissue samples are analyzed for frequency of genetic mutations,
including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), single nucleotide variants (SNVs), and
small deletions and/or insertions, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and mass spectometry
(Sequenom MassARRAY). Results are then analyzed to determine whether specific mutations
correlate with patient or disease features such as tumor stage, histological grade, or
outcome.
